PHILADELPHIA —The Phillies seemed like they were headed for a deflating loss — at the hands of yet another blown save — until rookie Bryson Stott stepped up to the plate. With Jean Segura on first base and no outs, Stott saw two pitches, then promptly launched the third — a 97.4 mph slider — 381 feet to centerfield that just barely stayed inside the park. It was enough to score Segura and tie the game at 6-6.
Two at-bats later, infielder Nick Maton hit a walkoff single to give the Phillies a much-needed 7-6 win over the Reds. The Phillies are now 68-55.
